chelsea Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I had a delivery from Ascott smallholding supplies and I ordered some Stalosan to put down in the base of the run. Do many people use it on here and how often do you use it? (weekly?) and roughly how much do you use? (is it a light sprinkle?) thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hi Chelsea I use it when I clean out the run which is on paving slabs - when it,s clean I sprinkle some over the areas where it gets damp when it rains. You dont need much at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I use it whenever I give the run a major clean. I sprinkle it about fairly generously and mix it in with the Aubiose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 we got some a few days ago and DH sprinkled it about the coop and under the feeders but when he next does a big clean out, he'll sprinkle it everywhere (inside and in the run) before putting fresh aubiose down.

chelsea Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 Cool thanks! just the advice i was needing! I didnt want anything scientific (eg - so many miligrams per chicken feather etc) A sprinkle/dusting suits me just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh sarah Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 very blonde question what is it please! sarah and do i need some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Have a look here Sarah http://www.regencypoultry.com/shoparea.asp?p=af4a39a9-c38f-43c7-8085-d147b3616a20 (Sorry dont how how to do the posh link thingy)! It's not a compulsory purchase but I like to use it as my run is on paving slabs and it's nicer than trying to use liquid disinfectant. It's a pink powder and smells quite pleasant too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I use it all the time too Chelsea, I sprinkle it on the ground in the run before laying fresh Aubiose, and in the eglu after it has dried off from being washed. Sarah, it is a powder disinfectant that helps to stop damp, bacteria and viruses, it also stops any pongs. I get mine online form the fab Terry Beebe at Regency Poultry.

welsh sarah Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 thanks i think i might need some after all do you think the tester would be enough for one application of floor and eglu? sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 The shaker/tester size lasts for ages. I upgraded to the large tub and it's going strong after more than a year. You only need a sprinkle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 It has a reasonably pleasant smell too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 It has a reasonably pleasant smell too. Nowhere near as nice as the red mite powder though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
